Sea Snake

What do you get when you give a deadly snake a very toxic venom? The Sea Snake is the answer! It lives in the Indo-Pacific region and is more toxic than land-based species. It is not aggressive, but it will attack if it becomes entangled in fishing nets. The venom can cause paralysis, including paralysis of the respiratory system.

The largest African cobra species has distinctive coloring, large fangs for injecting a large dose of venom, and a tear-drop mark near its eye.
